Disclosure: This is an unsponsored post. We simply got an appointment at this amazing shop and wanted to share.
With E’s health issues at the forefront of our mind we needed to start making preparations for her First Holy Communion. Although we are still unsure of what it will look like for her, we wanted to make it as special as possible. E loves fashion, she chooses my clothing most days. I knew she would want an extra special experience for her dress shopping. I researched a few places that we could take her, and decided on Little Nikki’s in Ho Ho Kus NJ. It’s less than a half hour away from us here in Rockland, and the shop just looked special.
Well I was right. I emailed to make an appointment, hoping that we could do it safely and solo. Well, that’s the only way they do it. You book a 1 3/4 hour time slot and its just you and whomever you would like to bring. We decided to invite the ladies in the family. The whole making of the appointment was easy as pie.
The day of we showed up and what a CUTE SHOP! So many beautiful dresses, I wish my wedding shopping had been this sweet!!! You start by getting a quick tour of where to find things, and then a rolling rack that you can add any dresses you are looking to try on to.
Once we selected the options that we liked, E and I went to start the fashion show. There are shoes you can wear while trying for effect, and of course we had to try the HEELS!
We tried so many variations of dress (there is really something for everybody) from layered, to eyelet lace, to classic, to prairie style. Our second runner up even had POCKETS!!! It is not easy to decide (especially when you have a lot of opinions).
Here is what I LOVED. As we modeled, the owner watched carefully, and provided some input but watched more carefully. She waited for E to have a reaction. She knew when E had chosen a dress before I did. She came right in and completed the look with a veil and a tiara (how did she know E was a tiara gal?), and that was it. I couldn’t believe my eyes, and neither could E. We were sold.
After we made the decision we got to go over to the adorable photo-op area (now you’re speaking my language) to take “Said Yes to the Dress” pic ( I am saving the dress one because I want it to fit well when you see it). What a great experience!!! As always, should you decide to go to Little Nikki’s we appreciate you letting them know you heard it here.
What was even better, is that my sister is due with baby #2 in April, and so we walked next door to check out the fabulous collection of Baptism clothing as well, something tells me this is not our last trip :o)
